Well, that's the way I do it for my test machines.

I'm not sure I understand the question. You've just described how to
do it. Specifically, though, I mount a drive /src on all machines,
and then create a symlink /usr/src -> /src. You have two choices with
/usr/obj:
1. Don't create it, or let it be a directory. The objects will be
stored on the local machine. This is a lot faster than putting
everything on NFS, but you'll need about 220 MB free.
2. Put it on the remote machine. /usr/obj might point to /src/obj,
which doesn't need to exist.
